That's when I use white gloves - changing tubes on a valve amp (Manley Snappers).

Has solid state caught up to the warmth and overall rich sound you get from tube amps and preamps? I use my Bryston amp and preamp that I bought 25+ years ago. I've wondered about that though.

Is it logged and accounted for on STRAVA like most serious workouts are..? As they say, if its not on STRAVA is "NOT HAPPENING" and yes mine is verified and accounted for on STRAVA.... Yes who is actually counting..?

Better not be the Norwegian Blue. Those are endangered.

Could end up in a Monte Python sketch using one of them.

we have the same ones too. we use them to check that the cleaner has dusted the hard to get places.
they really come in handy.
i started to ask the maid to use them when ironing our clothes.
